Derby Talk

Derby Talk is a forum for Pinewood Derby, Awana Grand Prix, Kub Kar Rally, Shape N Race Derby, Space Derby, Raingutter Regatta and other similar races where a child and an adult work together to create a race vehicle and a lot of fun and memories

This is a chance for me to benefit from the years of experience represented on this Forum. From my photos of this years cars, it's obvious that a 8 x 8 patio is not exactly the ideal "evil lair " footprint for extensive derby car creations and other such woodworking feats.

To that end, and much to the delight of my wife and family, we are moving to a real house in a few weeks. There is a 21 x 21 garage with the homeowners leaving behind a full section of workshop type cabinets, counters, and pegboard. I am interested in gaining some insight into the "makings of an evil lair" ( garage workshop ). Here are a few of the areas I need some input on:

If you are going to go whole hog and make it into a wood workshop, take some time and run pvc around and get one of those bigger vacs to have at the end. Not the best description, but best I have this early, been up way too long already today.

You can then use hoses to the backs of each tool and be able to suck up stuff without having to move the shop vac around - looks cool. Nice setup when working correctly too.
